Electron Microscopy: Principles of Radiation Protection

Alternative title: Electron Microscopy: The Radiation Safety Aspect
Synopsis: Explains the nature of the possible radiation hazard in electron microscopy and outlines the ways in which modern equipment is designed and made so that in normal use the worker is not exposed to radiation. The interlock principle is explained and illustrated by an example from the field of x-ray crystallography. By filming machines while they were dismantled for servicing, details of several internal safety devices have been included. In this way workers who normally use the equipment as a ‘black box’ get some insight into the principles and practice of radiation protection in this field.
